Chapter 572: Chapter 573 Enemy?_1

"Fall back!"

As he charged into the battle, Feng Yuan shouted at Guo Huai and Mo Li. Startled by Feng Yuan’s words, Mo Li glanced at the middle-aged man pressing down on Liu Wenli, then at the White Ape overpowering the Telekinetic Brown Bear, and quickly pulled Guo Huai to retreat.

Xiao Ji stirred up a gust of wind to deflect the middle-aged man’s attack aimed at Mo Li and Guo Huai, nervously watching the few combatants. With the addition of Feng Yuan, the middle-aged man slowly started to lose ground, while the White Ape slashed and forced the Telekinetic Brown Bear back, lunging at Liu Wenli.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Seeing Liu Wenli not dodging but instead seizing the opportunity to ambush the middle-aged man as she passed by him, Feng Yuan spoke with dissatisfaction. Without looking at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli successfully wounded the middle-aged man and swiftly dodged to the side. The disadvantage of the Greatsword became progressively apparent. Compared to the Greatsword, which consumed a great deal of strength with each swing, the enemy’s long spear clearly supported a more prolonged combat.

"I believe in you."

When she withdrew next to Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli said with a coquettish laugh, ignoring the opponent. Feng Yuan, with a swing of his sword, struck the White Ape. Blade met blade, and the terrifying weight of the Greatsword immediately took effect, sending the White Ape flying back from Feng Yuan’s strike.

"Xiao Ji! Take care of those little bugs!"

Suddenly, Feng Yuan shouted to Xiao Ji behind him. Flapping its wings, Xiao Ji flew into the sky, voicing its discontent as it sprayed azure flames towards the ground. Watching figures made of fire rush out, the middle-aged man appeared surprised and glanced at Feng Yuan before saying,

"Shall we call a temporary halt to the fighting?"

"As you wish."

Grabbing Liu Wenli and retreating sharply, Feng Yuan glanced at Amon, hesitating only a moment before Amon started to pursue Liu Wenli. Seeing Feng Yuan retreat without chasing after him, the middle-aged man focused on the shadows flickering through the trees, pointing and charging forward.

"Don’t think you can leave me behind."

Watching Feng Yuan, who was holding the Black Wolf God Greatsword, head towards the woods, Liu Wenli obstinately said. Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan oddly and asked,

"What exactly are you two doing?"

"Cleaning up mountain bandits, what else?"

With a fierce swing of the Greatsword, a jet-black sword aura shot forth, severing trees that slowly toppled to reveal the incredulous face of a mountain bandit behind them.

"Truly relentless."

Liu Wenli said discontentedly as she charged forward with Amon. Whether it was because of exhaustion from the great battle the day before or some other reason, Feng Yuan, apart from occasionally unleashing a sword aura, spent more time swinging the Greatsword to fend off enemies. Xiao Ji continuously used its azure flames to clear the enemies that Feng Yuan blocked while Mo Li halted Zi Mo from advancing, saying,

"Let’s stay here."

"Why?"

Guo Huai asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at the middle-aged man. Mo Li whispered softly,

"Is this the difference between the strong and the weak..."

"Perhaps, or maybe it’s just that our strength is too disparate."

Watching the middle-aged man single-handedly hold his own against their party, adding to that the even stronger White Ape, Hua Yiyou felt a sense of helplessness rising within him. But it was only a moment before Hua Yiyou recovered and Mo Li laughed, saying,

"Looks like we need to work harder."

Feng Yuan slashed down a mountain bandit attacking him and, gazing at Mo Li and the others who seemed to be watching a play, shouted,

"Stop spectating!"

Liu Wenli, gasping for breath as she slashed down a mountain bandit that sneaked up behind Feng Yuan, said,

"They’re too weak, it’s better if they stay there."

Closing his eyes and falling silent for a moment, Feng Yuan revealed a cruel smile and said,

"It seems there aren’t that many people left, so I won’t hold back anymore."

"You’d do better to fall back. I reckon you don’t have much energy left, don’t force yourself."

"You care about me? Don’t bother, besides you, this guy..."

Liu Wenli, in the midst of speaking, slashed and killed another bandit who sneakily approached behind Feng Yuan. The middle-aged man glanced in Feng Yuan’s direction and muttered with a low laugh,

"Really... youth is great, isn’t it? Even at a time like this, they don’t forget to flirt."

Glancing at the mountain bandits, Feng Yuan said with a ferocious smile,

"Yesterday, you forced me to flee in a sorry state. I remember that grudge! Now, it’s my turn to retaliate!"

The Black Wolf God Greatsword in his hand stabbed fiercely into the ground, emitting a crisp shattering sound as the massive blade broke into countless small fragments, scattering in all directions.

Some of the flying shards penetrated the bodies of the mountain bandits, leaving wounds. Regardless of whether they hit the enemy or not, all the fragments rapidly slowed down once they were far from Feng Yuan, then changed direction and flew back towards him.

A surge of black energy replaced the original blade, making the Black Wolf God Greatsword appear as if it were still whole. Wielding the Black Wolf God Greatsword, Feng Yuan charged at the mountain bandits with a crazed laugh.

"Phew—so tired."

Sprawled on Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked exhausted and unwilling to move. Yao Yin glanced at Feng Yuan and said with annoyance,

"Who asked you to show off? Have you forgotten about his presence?"

Glancing at the White Wolf Deity, Feng Yuan said disdainfully,

"I’m not afraid of him taking action."

Yao Yin looked at the middle-aged man who stood in the distance, hands resting on the haft of the halberd planted in the ground, eyeing everyone with interest. Behind him, a White Ape held a sharp long knife, watching Feng Yuan warily. It felt that among the group, only Feng Yuan was dangerous; it didn’t consider Liu Wenli or Amon at all. As for the White Wolf Deity?

As a Divine Beast, if the White Wolf Deity didn’t let itself be sensed, it would have no clue as to how powerful the White Wolf Deity truly was. Although Xiao Ji could fly in the sky, the ape didn’t recognize Xiao Ji’s flames as Death Series flames; otherwise, it might have been more cautious.

Mo Li and Hua Yiyou watched the middle-aged man cautiously, with Mo Li even protecting Mo Ling behind him. They had clearly seen in the recent battle that among them, the middle-aged man was only second to Feng Yuan when he fought with all his might. Along with the White Ape behind him, if a battle broke out, Mo Ling, and even Mo Li and others, could become weak points in the team.

Liu Wenli handed a jar to Amon and said,

"Don’t mind him, it’s nothing."

Feng Yuan curiously glanced at Liu Wenli and said,

"Have you changed your temper? Just now you were fighting to the death, and now you’re letting it go?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli said with annoyance,

"Did you recognize him from the start?"

"What do you think ~"

"Recognize what?"

Guo Huai asked puzzledly. Liu Wenli gave the middle-aged man a glance and said,

"He’s from Nanyu, and with such strength, it’s almost impossible for him to be our enemy."

"Why not?"

Looking at Guo Huai, Hua Yiyou smiled and said,

"We already have a formidable enemy at hand, and it’s clear we’re not aligned with those ’mountain bandits.’ Who do you think would actively make enemies at a time like this?"

"Then why earlier..."

Liu Wenli glanced at Amon who was eating honey. Noticing Liu Wenli looking at him, Amon showed a naive smile, unaware of what she meant.

Sighing, Liu Wenli said helplessly,

"When I arrived, Amon was already engaging with him. I didn’t know what had happened, if you want to know why, you might as well ask him."

Seeing Liu Wenli look his way, the middle-aged man said lazily with a smile,

"Hey, kid, your big bear attacked me as soon as we met, and you have the nerve to blame me?"

"If you hadn’t done anything to make it misunderstand, would it have attacked you?"

"Kid, are you still being reasonable? I didn’t do anything, and that dumb bear wanted to hit me as soon as we met. How can you blame me?"

Watching the middle-aged man joke, Liu Wenli wasn’t angry at all. She wasn’t familiar with him, and Feng Yuan obviously knew her too well, so there was no point in pretending in front of him. Liu Wenli didn’t bother to put on an act and said, looking at the middle-aged man,

"Uncle, you must have an important mission, right? Why bother staying here?"

"You guessed wrong there, I’m free and unattached, what can’t I do?"

Although very discreet, everyone still noticed a fleeting sadness in the middle-aged man. Liu Wenli sighed and said,

"Did you not come because of the mountain bandits?"

"The mountain bandits? Oh, they’re too terrifying, like locusts. How could I possibly think of dealing with them, huh~"
